Counselling And Psycho-Therapeutic Services (C.A.P.T.S)

About us

Counselling can be useful for anyone who wants to explore the way they're thinking or feeling further, as well as anyone experiencing problems or issues they are keen to resolve. C.A.P.T.S provides a safe and confidential place where you can talk about your issues that are preventing you from functioning the way you think you should.

The first session is the consultation session which usually last for 50-60 minutes where the type of counselling on offer will be explained, and information collated to start the therapeutic process to either help you reconcile your issues or help you to find ways of coping. Don’t worry if you find it difficult to talk about all your issues during the first session, we could continue to collate information during further sessions, which will last for 50 minutes (minimum 6 sessions).

The type of therapy used will depend on the issues that you are facing and how you would like to address those issues. Together we will decide on a therapy type when we have found out more about you, the way you think and what you are hoping to gain from therapy.

Trainee Counsellors

Personal therapy for trainee counsellor is an essential part of their training. It gives the trainee counsellors first-hand experience what it is like to be a client talking about difficult and personal things to somebody they don’t really know. It offers trainee counsellors the opportunity to find any blind spots they may have and to explore any unresolved issues from their past. In addition, personal therapy could add knowledge and skills and helps trainees comprehend more effectively the counselling process, and promote elf-awareness.We have a vast amount of experience counselling trainee counsellors in several modalities to meet their counselling course requirement.
